Cups From Tin Cans.

The resourcefulness of-women as war workers was given exemplification recently by the Red Cross canteen workers in France. Seven of the women were operating a rest station at one of the aviation camps. Having an insufficient number of cups for the use of the canteen the head worker discovered that there were several plumbers among the German prisoners working about the camps. She gathered a quantity of empty tin cans and set the plumber prisoners to work making drinking cups. The canteen was quickly supplied with plenty of well-made cups with neat handles made from the covers.
